WFMU Record Fair

in my heart, i know the list won't work.

Last year I end up only buying from the WFMU tables and from WFMU DJs selling stuff. Oh, and a Human League record bag.

i AM getting rid of the VAST majority of my cd collection. that includes like 50 discs of nz pop, like 3 linear feet of brazilian funk and soul cds, my whole holland/dozier/holland section, all my atom heart cds (ok, that's only like 10 of 'em) ... about a 1000 cds in every genre, b/c that's all i could rip to my hard drive so far!!! but i've been ripping the most interesting cds i have, first, at least.

I'll have a table against the back wall (the "R" section), come say hello if you're an ilm-er.

if'n you don't know who i am (and i don't know why you should) i used to be the wfmu music director before brian.

sorry for the promotional content. thanks douglas!!!

p.s.: cds i'm NOT getting rid of--all my gospel cds, every boredoms related cd i own, and the majority of my african cds. Look what happens when you age?

the fall - the domesday pay-off: triad-plus! (the slightly different u.s. version of bend sinister)

here's johnny: magic moments from the tonight show (casablanca records, 2 LPs, 1974, comes with a poster!)

let's clear the air: presented by con edison ("nuclear energy: is it the safe energy a growing world needs?" and other promotional propaganda; cover design is an idyllic 1970s blue sky with a bright white lightbulb in the bottom foreground)

linda ronstadt - get closer (one of her early '80s pop records; couple of jimmy webb covers on here)

signs of the zodiac: cancer (part of mort garson's awesomely stupid late '60s series of astrology-psych records... i almost got a non-garson astrology LP another seller had, but in the end i decided it wasn't worth paying $3 for).

i ha... oh you know

I...uh...

Well, I have that, too.

There were an unusual number of hot indie boys attending amid the geeks. At the other end of the spectrum, I saw someone answer his phone at the urinal.
